Oh no. No Metro version of the 4th best browser? How will I ever manage.

It's still my backup to Chrome when Chrome goes into "fuck you" mode and it's plug-in support is very good.

I'm the reverse, Firefox with Chrome as backup. Chrome still doesn't have the customisation options I like.

If I am recommending a (desktop) browser to a someone not very tech-savvy I tend to say Chrome or Safari, as they are easy to use and tend to be the fastest in terms of loading speed. (actually it's been a few years since I used Safari, but I suspect it is still similar) For my purposes though I can browse faster with FF.

I haven't tried IE10/11, IE9 was a massive improvement over 8/7 though so if IE10 was a similar improvement then it's probably a decent alternative.

Haven't tried Opera in a few years as it was slow as hell for me, loved all the options it had 'out of the box' but for some reason web pages took at least 10 times longer to load.

I like Chrome's speed and memory usage is why it's my primary but man when it bugs out..... lol. IE is still "meh" so nobody is missing out by not using it, that's for sure.
